RedTail Golf Club
About
Atypical of many Florida golf courses, RedTail Golf Club is a links-style layout dotted with 100-year-old oak trees and azaleas among its rolling green fairways. Designed by Dave Harman, who also did Shingle Creek Golf Club in Orlando, the course features four lakes with water coming into play on the last five holes. Holes 14-18 work their way around the largest lake on the course, while the finishing hole's approach shot plays over another body of water in front of the clubhouse. Located in rural Sorrento a little more than a half hour north of Orlando, RedTail Golf Club prides itself on catering to "members only."

What happened?!?!
It had been a couple of years since I played here and it was beautiful. It has completely been ignored and abused. It’s a shame, I don’t know how that community would allow such gross incompetence regarding their course. Dirt tea boxes, all trees shrubs and weeds completely overgrown, patchy multiple types of grass, fairways destroyed. What happened?? This place used to be awesome. I would boycott until there is investment in fixing this course. I can’t recommend this course unless they were paying me to play. Honestly, it’s not even worth $20, but they’re charging at least $60. They should be ashamed of themselves.
Good and getting better
Awesome layout most greens were in good shape you can tell the grounds are working very hard .There is work still left to do but I will be back
Good value
I had glanced some the reviews and thought what to expect....rough..........but was pleased with conditions. Yes, a couple of greens had some spots and the rough was rough in some areas, But for the most part it was great, the fairways were at least as good if not better than Providence which we played the day before. We play this track every spring during our holiday. ....the layout and views are great.
Price was right and as not many golfers were out the pace was three and a half hours. Would recommend.
Pleasantly surprised!
First time playing the course and very happy with it. Greens are good and roll true. Rough and fairways could use a little work. But layout and surrounding area was cool. Will definitely go back when I get a chance.
Round at RedTail
This course has an enjoyable layout. Some of their greens and tee boxes continue to be spotty, although
fairways were in good shape for the most part. The driving range has been closed to non members for several weeks which I find irritating. If they are going to take my money, then open up the range so I can get loose
before my round. The putting area is well maintained but the chipping/bunker facility is in poor condition.
Maybe if ownership spent more money on improving the course/facilities, they would get more play from
the public as well as an increase in their meager membership numbers.
A challenging course
Went there with a friend in the afternoon. The course was in magnificent shape other than a few minor spots on the greens from previous ball marks and such. The fairways were beautiful, bunkers were plenty and you probably should bring your A game if you want to score well. The greens were super fast. Had a few wide fairways but tee shots need to be accurate for birdie opportunities. If you don't have course management skills, you will likely score high here. Greens are good size so you can still hit the green and still have a long birdie putt. I thoroughly enjoyed playing this course and look forward to trying to break par next time.
just not very good
The winter overseed is fading out. Lot of bare spots in fairway. greens spotty or patched. Off fairway conditions bad. U can see that a lot a bushes and trees thinned out around water and site lines though. Hard to be positive not much to love
Excellent layout
Come here for the layout. You won’t be disappointed. The overall conditions are improving, specially the greens.
Getting better
Greens are getting better than it was a month ago but still need work. Not many people out there so pace was good. You can tell the greens crew was working to make it better. Still a lot of weeds on the course but overall for the money was not bad. Will be back, such a great layout if they put money into it could come back
Got worse
I really want to like this course …. It has a good layout… but the conditions are from bad to worse!!! I played 3 weeks ago and it was a little better than this last time …. Really undesirable… no even for the deal !!! Good luck and I hope it gets better !!!
Wow, what a great place. Love the layout. Spectacular views. 14 of 18 greens in real good shape. 4 had some problems but it was so far from pin it didn't matter. Tee boxes good for the most part. The rough is truly rough. Not tall grass but rather bare ground and crab grass patches. You should go.
Coming back
I have played Red Tail numerous times throughout the years and the course has definitely seen its share of ups and downs. We paid $55 for all you can play and it was worth it at this price point for sure. The course is definitely back on the way up with most tee boxes, fairways and greens in pretty good shape. The greens were fairly quick and smooth with some rough patches here and there but overall, good shape and definitely better than some other courses in the area. The rough, well, that's the tough part. If you are off the fairway, expect some pretty harsh and bare lies and it will cost you a few strokes. But, it looks like they are working on the main parts of the course, tees, fairways and greens so if you like a challenging course and are ok with the drive, Red Tail could be a good option as long as pricing stays in and around this area.
Really working hard on making course improvements.Rain and nice weather will continue to help with course improvements!
Course conditions
The greens and fairways have gotten much better since the last time I played a few months ago.
Ok golfing, not a good experience
Conditions were okay. Extremely disorganized staff because of a tournament. No range golf balls were available for warm up. They blame it on the tournament, they weren't prepared to handle. 45 minute late tee time. 30 percent of the greens are un-puttable, bare rough bumpy spots. Very hard to find balls in the fairway. This course use to be one of the best in the area, not now.
.
Still struggling
I read a lot of positive reviews. Unfortunately redtail is not worth playing. Yes fairways and most tee boxes are in good condition. Greens were fair.
However, around ever green is a joke. Either dirt or dirt mixed with patches of crab grass. Maybe next year it will rebound.
